David Sal Silva was a father of four who was savagely beaten to death on March 8, 2013, by seven Kern County Sheriff's deputies and two California Highway Patrol officers in an unincorporated area of Bakersfield, California. This was the third fatal beatdown perpetrated by Kern County Sheriff's Office personnel since 2005, and the fifth questionable death at their hands.

This web site hopes to achieve Justice for David Sal Silva by working towards two goals: The prosecution and imprisonment of his murderers, and an effective reform of the Kern County Sheriff's Office so as to ensure this never happens to anyone again.

$3.4M settlement: Once again Kern County makes a multi-million dollar payout for the actions of Donny Youngblood & his thugs.

Meet Donny Youngblood, the helpless, ineffectual Sheriff of Kern
County, California, whose deputies and jailers have beaten to
death at least three men, two while he was Sheriff and the third
while he was temporarily retired after serving 30 years as a
deputy for the Kern County Sheriff's Office, one of the most
violent, abusive agencies of its size in the county.

If nine private citizens had behaved as his deputies and their
CHP cronies behaved on the night David Sal Silva was savagely --
and fatally -- pummeled with steel batons, they'd be sitting in
the Kern County Jail contemplating murder charges.

Thanks to Donny's utter lack of leadership, integrity and
responsibility to the citizens who elected him, these criminals
are already back on the streets with their guns, badges and
batons. Its only a matter of time before another unfortunate
human being meets the same fate as David Sal Silva. It's
happened three times already; it will happen again.
